Activity- Children are to sort a collection of capital letters using a Venn Diagram. There are 3 levels of difficulty please pick a level appropriate for your child. The answers do follow.
If the children are unsure about how to use a Venn Diagram let them watch this PP and I will try my best to explain. How to use a Venn diagram to sort
Whole class reading- remember to tune in to our live reading session of our class book at 10:30- 10:50 am.

Science
LO: To investigate magnetic poles.
Children are going to investigate the different combinations of whether two bar magnets will attract or repel. Children must predict first whether they think the combination of the poles of both magnets will attract or repel first. Children are to annotate on their two magnets and combinations. Chn to draw arrows to show whether the magnets attract or repel. I will add videos below for the answers!
Remember in a Bar Magnet – Red Pole = North Blue Pole= South
Answers– Are your predictions correct. Watch the videos to see! (*Disclaimer, apologies for shoddy camera work, it’s quite hard to hold a camera whilst using two magnets!)
Children to complete a cloze text inserting the correct vocabulary into the missing gaps. Discuss with the children that a magnetic force can act at a distance compared to other forces which need contact. magnet explanation
Extention– Here are some examples of a Science based question based on what the children have learnt today. Can the children use their understanding of magnets to answer it? Testbase magnet questions
Extra extension! If you have a bar magnet then you can always be practical and try and make your own compass. See the instructions attached. Make a Magnetic Compass
